Icons are always useful. This is the same for both you and us. We got together with the vector acrobats from Vexels to create an icon collection with more than 350 pictograms that you can use completely for free, and for any purpose you want to. Enjoy!

Our icon set contains symbols for social media, general business applications, and all types of contact pictograms. For that, we have chosen the most up to date design variants. The symbols come in flat design, as line icons, in offset style, with long shadows, as well as sporting the newest material design. This should allow for the creation of all conventional designs. If you are not one hundred percent content with the pictograms, you can simply edit them yourself, as you not only get each icon as an individual PNG with the measurements 1200 x 1200 pixels but also as an individual SVG, as well as a layered Adobe Illustrator format.

This overview gives you an impression of what to expect:

An Overview of All Pictograms. (Overview: Vexels)

The download of the 18 megabytes heavy ZIP archive is not tied to any preconditions. All you have to do is attach the note “Designed by Vexels” to projects that you use the set in. After the download and unzipping of the archive, you’ll find a folder named ICONS on your local drive, in which the individual design variants are stored, divided into further subfolders.

https://www.noupe.com/essentials/things-you-should-look-for-in-a-web-host-94681.html#commentsWed, 13 Jan 2016 17:00:58 +0000http://www.noupe.com/?p=94681]]>

Web hosting is one of the most crucial aspects related to setting up a website, simply because you cannot go online if you have no place to host your site in the first place. As such, choosing the best web host for your needs and requirements becomes mandatory.

However, since web hosting in itself is an extremely saturated market, how does one pick the ideal web hosting provider and more importantly, what should one look for? Of course, a proper background check is the first step in this direction, and by reading unbiased web hosting reviews and facts, you can make a well-informed decision.

In this post, I will be discussing things and aspects that separate a good web host from a bad one, or in other words, things that you should look for when selecting a web hosting provider.

Things You Should Look For in A Web Host

It is common knowledge that there are certain key aspects that everyone should bear in mind when judging a web host. Uptime, for instance, is something that you just cannot compromise with. Similarly, good quality support is another such obvious factor.

Doing some research is always a good idea, and you can look up reviews and statistics related to web hosts that you might be considering. Sites such as Hosting Facts are good places where you can start your research.

That said, what are some other points that you should consider when looking for a web hosting provider?

Features and Limits

Obviously, the set of features that you should be looking for in a web host depends directly on your needs and requirements. For instance, if you are planning to run a WordPress website, you will need a server that is capable enough to handle databases and PHP scripts, as well as other relevant features.

However, regarding features, you should focus more on what exactly you are being “offered”. Having dealt with innumerable web hosting providers for both shared and dedicated usage, I personally have never seen a truly “unlimited” hard drive, simply because there does not exist one. As such, “unlimited web hosting” is just a fancy buzzword, and it, in fact, is severely limited concerning features and limits.

Another thing to consider, especially when opting for a shared web hosting package, is the resource usage limits. Most shared web hosting providers openly talk about the disk space and bandwidth that they are offering, but very few actually bother to tell you what exactly is being “shared” with other users. Once again, I have never come across a shared hosting site that consumes 2000 GB of bandwidth within a month — if your site is getting that much of traffic, it will outgrow shared hosting before it outgrows the bandwidth.

You should, ideally, be looking for memory limits: physical and virtual memory limits, I/O usage threshold, as well as the maximum number of concurrent scripts that your web host allows for the plan you intend to purchase.

Software and Scripts

Almost every web host offers easy install methods for WordPress, Drupal and many other popular scripts (ditch your host right now if they do not). However, a good idea is to inquire about the version of software that they are running — for instance, PHP 5.3 has reached end of life, but there are several web hosts that are still stuck with PHP 5.3 and refuse to discuss an upgrade path.

Similarly, if you are on a shared, semi-dedicated or fully and proactively managed VPS, ask your web host about the version of the control panel (say, cPanel or Plesk) that they are offering. While dedicated and self-managed VPS offer you the luxury of choosing your software versions, the other plans generally do not. That doesn’t mean you should be forced to stick with outdated or obsolete software!

Support

Proper support is the backbone of a web hosting business, and in the absence of satisfactory support, a web host cannot survive in the industry. However, as a customer, what should your considerations and expectations be regarding support?

First, it depends on the “type” of support that you are looking for. If you have pre-sales queries or a question about billing, it is normal for responses to be slightly delayed, and possibly sent only during business hours. However, when it comes to technical support, you should be able to get a reply anytime of day, and any day of the year. Unfortunately, there are some popular web hosts out there that offer tech support only during business hours and even worse, have the tech support desk unmanned during weekends. This is unacceptable, simply because hardware failure, DDoS attacks, or database errors do not take holidays, and just because it is a Saturday, you shouldn’t be stuck with a “504 service unavailable” message until Monday.

Secondly, you should consider the “medium” of support that is acceptable to you. Email or ticket-based support has become the norm in the web hosting industry, and it is still the primary medium of support everywhere. However, many web hosts offer limited support via Live Chat or phone, and if that is something you really need, look for a host that offers that. Personally, I have never received any advanced level of assistance via phone, but live chat is generally good for short issues, such as setting up custom DNS or email forwarders, etc.

The Fine Print

Of course, you should, by all means, focus on the terms of service and other clauses and conditions that your web hosting provider might put before you, before signing up with them.

However, there are certain questions that you should surely ask, before purchasing a web hosting package. For example:

Backup Policy: Almost all decent web hosting providers offer guaranteed daily or weekly backups (again, ditch your web host if they do not). However, ask them about restore! Many web hosts tend to charge a fee for restoring your backups, and still others just offer you a zipped dump of your data, that might span in GBs, and tell you to figure out the restoring part yourself (or send you a link to their knowledgebase).

Refund Policy: Ask about the refund policy of the web host in question AFTER the money-back guarantee period has expired. Do they offer pro-rated refunds? If so, do they refund back to your card or PayPal, or do they refund it as account funds you can use to avail discount on future purchases with them?

Scope of Support: Even if your web hosting provider offers excellent support, be sure to consider the extent to which they might go to offer you that support. Will they be willing to install your SSL certificates for you, free of charge? Will they be willing to troubleshoot occasional WordPress issues, or help you setup your CDN?

Conclusion

Web hosting is a crowded industry, but there is no shortage of excellent web hosting providers out there. It depends on the nature of your needs and the requirements of your website, but at the end of the day, you should always do your homework before finalizing a web host.

Finally, you should note that most web hosts offer a money-back scheme, so you can try them out before committing for a longer payment term.

Happy New Year and All the Best for 2016https://www.noupe.com/essentials/happy-new-year-and-all-the-best-for-2016.html

So if you want to wish your friends, workmates, customers or just your beloved ones a Merry Christmas, just use any of these free amazing Christmas greetings designed by Freepik.

You can download them easily and edit them to add your personal touch.

I bet you know that situation. I mean, the one on the first picture. And I bet you have more than once thought of reacting as shown on the second picture. Exposure – one of the myths of web development work. Spec works is one manifestation of it. Just do as much as you can for free and the orders will keep rolling in? I don’t know of any success stories. My best practice advice is: “Never work for free!”

This is a true story – unfortunately. A good friend of mine hired a web designer to help him get online. As he has a very specialized target group he does not need an imposing internet presence, more a kind of a virtual business card to help his customers find him online. That’s what he told the designer. The designer then nodded an “Okay” but still silently rattled off his seemingly hard-wired plan of how a website has to be built, ending in an absolute overkill. My friend didn’t see the first draft within four weeks when he expected the whole project would be ready within a few days. One day he decided to ask for a status update. The designer got pretty angry and told him how complicated all these technological background tasks are to implement and how happy he should be to have found such a qualified designer.

News portals don’t always seem to be receptive to contemporary design and the use of new technologies such as HTML5 or CSS3. Often, a fixed layout is used, only supporting the vintage banner advertisement. A notable exception is the website of the US-American news portal Bloomberg, which is internationally known for its economic news.

Responsive Layout and Clear Navigation

While many news websites have different versions for mobile and desktop users, Bloomberg uses only one responsive design. On the desktop, the clearly organized navigation is placed in the header. This is also true for menus. On the top of the page, there is a slim black bar that contains links to the company, its products and more. Below that, there is a larger area containing the actual navigation. Using few links, the user can quickly access the portal’s main areas as well as the search functionality. A layer that shows additional links and teasers to recent articles, sensitive to the where the visitor just is, pops up on mouse-over.

Unfolded Navigation

An arrow button shows you the detailed navigation pop-up. It allows you to directly access sub-pages of the respective main areas. The navigation also contains links to the other news pages „Politics“ and „View“. Bloomberg’s navigation bridges the large gap between clarity and detail.

If needed, the navigation can simply be expanded. This way, the user does not instantly get confronted with a plethora of menu options and links and can access different content very comfortably.

On the mobile version, the navigation is restricted to the arrow button and the search box, so that the mobile navigation is very clear as well.

Mobile View With and Without Unfolded Navigation

What is also nice is that Bloomberg forgoes an overloaded footer. This role model of a footer only contains a few links.

Multi Columns that Self-adjust

One thing that Bloomberg has in common with many other news portals is multiple columns. In the desktop view, there are four columns with the content distributed over them. The two slimmer outer columns are used for top news, comments and opinions. In the two wider columns, there are teasers to other articles. As the left column is significantly longer than the other three, JavaScript makes sure that the left column is moving faster than the others when scrolling. This way, there is no unappealing space below the other columns.

Different Number of Columns – Depending on Available Screen Real Estate

The number of columns shrinks with slimmer representation. First, the right column disappears and with even narrower representation, the left one disappears as well. In mobile view, there is only one column remaining. As it should be on a proper responsive layout, the columns don’t just disappear but are reintegrated at the bottom of the remaining columns.

As the areas for top news, comments and opinions are distinct in colours anyway, they can also be easily integrated into the remaining columns and still remain separate from the article teasers.

HTML5 and CSS3 – but Flash-Videos

The source text and the use of HTML5 and CSS3 are also exemplary for the most part. Besides the „<main>“ element, certain elements are marked up with the „<section>“ element. Teaser and articles are enclosed via „<article>“ elements. Only the navigation is not enclosed with the fitting „<nav>“ element.

Other HTML elements are used as well. For example, the „<time>“ element is used to declare the release date of an article.

Concerning design modern CSS3 is used. However, there are only very few CSS3 animations. These are used for the insertion of social media links. While, on the desktop, the links fade in on mouseover, mobile users can make them pop-up by clicking a button.

Video Embedding

By default, the website’s videos are provided via Flash. Only on mobile devices they are offered in HTML5. This is surprising as for the most part, HTML5 is used on the page.

Prominent Colorful Design

Concerning design, the choice of color is adventurous considering the website’s focus on economic and political news. The base color is a shining dark blue, which is complemented by other, more vibrant colours. Every section has its own colours.

While the design of the landing page is rather timid and conservative, with the vibrant colours only used for lines and headlines, the overview pages of the different topics are much more colorful.

Topic Section „Technology.“

This is where the accent colours are moved into the foreground and create a unique, strong design. This shows the significant difference between Bloomberg and other news portals. The layout of the overview pages differs from each other. Only the header’s layout is always the same, even though its color changes with different topic sections.

Discrete Advertisement and Accessibility

Free service can not work without advertisement. This is not any different for Bloomberg. However, the website stays away from huge banners. Most of the time, there is a banner in the top area and a few in between the columns. The banners are always placed discreetly and never hide any content of the actual site.

As HTML5 elements are used, most content is labeled in a way that even screen readers can interpret it accordingly. The only thing that could be criticized is that additional ARIA traits could have created a better labeling of certain elements for visually impaired readers.

Conclusion

Bloomberg’s website is definitely one of the best practices for news portals in terms of design and technology. Responsivity and the use of HTML5 and CSS3 are why this site is an example of proper web development. Of course, there is room for optimization in some aspects. Still, Bloomberg does not need to fear comparison with its competition.

Freepik: Free Design Resources from Sunny Spain

Noupe’s readers know Freepik.com. It was still summer in 2012 when we first introduced you to the search engine for free design resources. We recommended it though it carried some minor quirks. We praised the high numbers of resources to be found using it, but were not so convinced by the way these findings had to be evaluated regarding their licences and other potential limitations to using them. Freepik doesn’t host the resources, so changes as to licensing can occur at any point in time. Freepik then started to proactively work against this criticism. More and more freebies on Freepik have since been created by the team members themselves. Browse the list of related links below this article and return to the many freebies we already exclusively covered. My personal favorite is and will alway be the pack with "50 Funny Icons out of the Extraordinary".

Freepik: 10 Facebook Covers for your Professional Profile

Today we have another exclusive freebie for you. For the first time ever the Freepik team created a set of Facebook covers. Ten different designs should be enough to suit the tastes of most people. As all the covers are delivered in PSD, AI and EPS you can modify them as much as you see fit. Simple modifications are easy as the covers work with Smart Objects where you simply exchange the content of the object to make the design your own. We provide the ten Facebook covers as ten individual downloads, because having them all in one single file makes that file weigh over 30 MB. The fonts used on the covers are not included for font licensing reasons. This is not a problem, though, as all fonts are free. Simply open the Resources.txt included with each download. In it you’ll find the download urls for the fonts needed as well as for the images included.

Our Facebook covers can be used for private and commercial purposes alike, simply leave the note "designed by Freepik.com" intact. You are not allowed to sell or redistribute the covers in any way. If you want to spread the word, refer to this article. That’s about it. Have fun with the following 10 Facebook covers in PSD, AI and EPS.

We teamed up with one of the industry’s most well-known PSD to HTML conversion companies, PSD2HTML.com, to give away a pack of responsive HTML email templates. The original PSD template was created by our second amazing partner in this giveaway, BestPSDFreebies.com. The PSD is available from here, too. So you can get your hands on building your own template if you feel so. We thought this was a great opportunity to share the experience we had with the P2H guys, what working with them is like and what challenges you might encounter while creating your responsive newsletters. Not the least part is that anyone who leaves a comment below gets a chance to win free newsletter template coding services from PSD2HTML worth $150!

The People Behind the Templates

If you are into web design, then you will most surely have heard of the PSD2HTML team. They have been helping thousands of agencies and freelancers to convert their artwork into actual working code. PSD2HTML offers a wide range of services, including but not limited to HTML5/CSS3 markup, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento implementation, mobile web development and email template coding.

The same should be true for BestPSDFreebies, a site where designers can find some of the finest PSD resources available on the net. Michael Reimer, the creative head behind BestPSDFreebies.com created a template exclusively for Noupe readers.

Noupe’s Challenge

I received that email template named “Fresco”, created by Michael Reimer’s BestPSDFreebies.com as a PSD. That’s what it looks like:

I was thinking of giving the PSD away for free, but then found it would be a much greater value, if we didn’t just give you the PSD as a potentially responsive email template, but actually have functional HTML created, too. That’s why I contacted the PSD2HTML guys and asked them if they would like to contribute the HTML part for our readers. The task was clear, but not really simple – make a real responsive HTML template from the original PSD.

According to CampaignMonitor’s research, email reading has shifted towards mobile devices, so it’s best to make sure that your emails look good on mobile. The real challenge is that responsive email design requires a different way of approaching email content. The PSD2HTML team had to get really creative with HTML for the Fresco template, since it has a complex header with an image, transparent overlay and buttons. Lots of email clients, such as iOS Gmail, Android Gmail and Android Mail 4.4, don’t support JS media queries. Most of email templates are created using old-school table-based layout coding. Learn more here.

The Result

Within two business days I received the final files. PSD2HTML extended on the original Fresco and delivered four more variants. See the pictures and judge for yourself. Which one you choose depends on who you send emails to.

As you can see, PSD2HTML team did a fantastic job! Definitely keep them in mind if you need to code an email template. You can freely download and use the templates from BestPSDFreebies and PSD2HTML for private and commercial purposes alike. You are not allowed to redistribute the templates as is or suggest you created them, although you can of course build client work upon it. Simply don’t provide any downloads on third party websites. Instead refer to these download links:

On top of that, you get the chance to win $150 worth of PSD to Email Template coding services from PSD2HTML. To enter the contest, simply leave a comment below. The game runs from now on until Thursday, 14th of August 2014, 6.00 PM (CEST).

Simply hold your breath for a minute and it will have faded. Yes, we find this hilarious. A few weeks ago, Nasty Icons created ripples, yet we found the set too drastic in some ways. So we contacted Freepik, our friends from Spain, and asked them if they’d be interested in creating a set, inspired by Nasty Icons, but more on the funny side. They agreed immediately and today, we are proud to be able to bring the 50 symbols to you. All of the icons are free to use for any type of project, but you can only get them here…

Funny Icons: 50 Symbols as PNG and SVG

Don’t tell me you don’t know Freepik. We have had them on our and therefore your radar quite frequently already. Just check out the articles under "Related Links" below this post. Throughout 2013 we were frequently able to bring you exclusive freebies.

Today we want to introduce you to a set of 50 funny icons, that take over where our last exclusive freebie, the 500 Human Pictos left off. Each and every Funny Icon tells a human story and sports the same design style you already know from the Human Pictos set. In a way, today’s offering extends the Human Pictos to 550, which isn’t a bad thing either.

Today’s Funny Icons come as separate PNGs, each 256 pixels squared. And they come as separate SVGs, so you can easily grow or shrink the pictograms to whatever size you need. You could even merge shapes to get whole new symbols altogether. There is no lock or limit whatsoever.

Vector Shapes Allow You To Scale Up To The Max

All the 50 situations shown are thoroughly crafted. Although the scenes don’t fit everywhere, we are sure you’ll turn to these icons often. Wait, is this simply a comfortable seat?:

The fact of having the raw file format at hand allows you limitless use cases and the license does not put an end to that. You are allowed to use the icons for private and commercial purposes alike. You are not allowed to redistribute the set from third-party websites. And you are not allowed to claim copyright or even imply you are the creator. But that should be simple rules of fair play and as such self-evident.

That said: Have fun with our 50 Funny Icons by Freepik…

Grab it from here

The ZIP weighs in at around 500 kb, so depending on your internet connection speed, the pack should be available in almost no time. Unzipping will reveal a folder structure dividing the formats PNG and SVG from each other.

Our pictograms come in different formats to make it easy for you not only to use, but also to customize them. Users of Adobe’s Creative Cloud will be happy to hear that an Adobe Illustrator file is included. Friends of different vector editors turn to either EPS or SVG, both of which are available. A PNG sprite allows you to target the icons via CSS (or simply cut them into pieces).

The fact of having the raw file format at hand allows you limitless use cases and the license does not put an end to that. You are allowed to use the icons for private and commercial purposes alike. You are not allowed to redistribute the set from third-party websites. And you are not allowed to claim copyright or even imply you are the creator. But that should be simple rules of fair play and as such self-evident.

Everybody roams the cities on the hunt for the perfect Christmas present. Our present for you involves no running. Again, we’ve teamed up with Freepik, our friends from sunny Spain, to bring you another freebie. This time we’re giving away a set of 500 icons symbolizing human behavior in loads of everyday situations. Instead of bringing you sparkling Christmas icons that you cannot use anymore in two weeks from now, we decided to go for something more timeless ;-) All of the icons are free to use for any type of project, but you can only get them here…

Human Pictos: 500 Symbols as PNG, PSD and SVG

Don’t tell me you don’t know Freepik. We have had them on our and therefore your radar quite frequently already. Just check out the articles under "Related Links" below this post. Throughout 2013 we were frequently able to bring you exclusive freebies.

Today we want to introduce you to a set of 500 human icons. They come as separate PNGs, each 512 pixels squared. And they come as a layered PSD file as well as separate SVGs. The PSD contains vectorized shapes, so you can easily grow or shrink the pictograms to whatever size you need. You could even merge shapes to get whole new symbols altogether. There is no lock or limit whatsoever, the PSD is completely unrestricted.

All the 500 situations shown are thoroughly crafted. We are sure you’ll turn to these icons often. My favorite is this one, can’t stop laughing:

The fact of having the raw file format at hand allows you limitless use cases and the license does not put an end to that. You are allowed to use the icons for private and commercial purposes alike. You are not allowed to redistribute the set from third-party websites. And you are not allowed to claim copyright or even imply you are the creator. But that should be simple rules of fair play and as such self-evident.

Be aware that the ZIP weighs in at around 11 MB, so you’ll need a little patience, depending on your internet connection speed. Unzipping will reveal a folder structure dividing the formats PNG, PSD and SVG from each other.
